The latest build is just BAD

sysads · August 12, 2015, 6:27pm

I thought upgrading to latest build would be better but its just got worse. Since upgrading, every time I try to build a package, the whole simulator closes without any errors or warning.

I have to attempt it more than 15 times before it works

Now, it just hangs and displays the closing app sign

This is for Windows version

This is becoming annoying

Hi sysads,

Can you provide more information about the problem? What target are you building for? What was the last build that you did not see this issue in? Can you post what is in your console?

Regards,

Michael

Target was for Android

Last build used without issue: v2015.2625

Well the console closes also when issue happens. What shows in console is usual ads not displayed, gamecenter not displayed etc

I see a new build just released today, will try that

If you’re not already, I’d suggest sticking with daily builds: https://developer.coronalabs.com/downloads/daily-builds/

The current one is 2015.2693

Are you building a Windows Binary or an Android Binary (using the windows corona simulator)
Can you build one of the samples that comes with Corona?
What plugins are you using? Can we see your build.settings. file?
If you’re using several plugins, have you tried commenting them out one by one and building to see if one of them is the cause?

Building Android

OK noticed something interesting, in my game.lua file I referenced a music filename that did not exist because I did not need it anymore. But previous version never crashed, all it would do is log it that the file does not exists but this new version both logs on console and crashed

Below is my build.settings

&nbsp; plugins = { &nbsp; &nbsp; -- key is the name passed to Lua's 'require()' &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.GameThrivePushNotifications"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; -- required &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.gamethrive", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, --[[&nbsp; &nbsp; ["CoronaProvider.ads.admob"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; -- required &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, ]] &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.adbuddiz"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; -- required &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.adbuddiz", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["CoronaProvider.gameNetwork.google"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; supportedPlatforms = { android = true }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; ["CoronaProvider.gameNetwork.apple"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, ["iphone-sim"]=true }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.chartboost"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.swipeware" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.google.play.services"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; supportedPlatforms = { android = true }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.google.iap.v3"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; supportedPlatforms = { android=true } &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; ["facebook"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; },

What version of Windows are you using?
Can you narrow down the crash to any one call? Try adding print statements before and after suspected crash points come up.
Which audio APIs are you using that you think are causing a crash? I tried to crash our audio libraries here locally, and could not reproduce the issue.
